Peshawar Zalmi Team News & Playing 11
PES Team News
Babar Azam announced four changes to his side ahead of the win against Multan Sultans so no player will feel that their place is secure in the team ahead of this game. Spinner Ariq Yaqoob is expected to miss out against Quetta Gladiators due to an injury.
PES Key Players
- Babar Azam – The skipper bounced back from his duck against Islamabad United in Match 20 and has now made four scores of 50+ in this year’s PSL.
- Saim Ayub – The left-handed opener got his side off to a brilliant start in the last game as he hit three fours and five sixes in his 22-ball innings.
- Aamer Jamal – The 27 year old all-rounder comes into this match in fine form after hitting 87 against Islamabad United and taking 2/36 against Multan Sultans.
- Naveen-ul-Haq – The Afghan pacer came back into the team for the win over Multan Sultans and has taken at least one wicket in all four of his 2024 PSL appearances.
PES Team Form
Peshawar Zalmi have lost only one of their last six games although their last four victories have been by no larger a margin than 8 runs in the PSL 2024.

Quetta Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
QUE Team News
After seeing the ball travelling quickly off the pitch in earlier games in Rawalpindi, Quetta Gladiators opted to bring back the pace of Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Hasnain for their last match. We expect the same XI to be given the chance to rectify the poor performance against Karachi Kings in this fixture.
QUE Key Players
- Jason Roy – The right-handed opener continues to take the attack to the opposing bowlers from the first ball. He will do the same in this game and hit 15 runs from just 8 balls in the last match.
- Saud Shakeel – The 28 year old left-handed opener top scored for the Gladiators against Karachi Kings and made 74 in the last head to head against Peshawar Zalmi.
- Abrar Ahmed – The 25 year old spinner added another wicket to his tally in the 2024 PSL when he dismissed the well set Tim Seifert against Karachi Kings.
- Akeal Hosein – The left-arm spinner is likely to open the bowling once more in this game and he picked up the big wicket of James Vince in his last appearance.
QUE Team Form
Quetta Gladiators have lost two of their last three completed games, their only defeats so far in the tournament.
Quetta Gladiators Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Saud Shakeel, Khawaja Nafay, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Rilee Rossouw (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq, Mohammad Hasnain
